Advertisements are Evil!!!
by Advertisers bug us a lot when they comment without any reason on our topics. So there is only one way. Ban them……:)
Advertisements are EVIL!!!
What is Advertising?
Advertising is a form of communication was used to convince the audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to take steps to products, services or ideas. The most commonly desired result is to drive consumer behavior in relation to the commercial offer, although advertising is also common political and ideological. The advertisements usually paying sponsors, and seen through the various traditional media, including the media, including newspapers, magazines, television commercials, radio advertising, outdoor advertising or direct mail, or new media such as websites and text messages.
Why should it be banned or Why is it bad?
1) “Advertising to kids is like shooting fish in a barrel,” warns Berkeley, California psychologist Allen Kanner, one of the 60 psychologists who began to pressure the APA to concerns about advertising to children under five. Several other countries restrict advertising to children: toys advertising banned on television in Greece 7:00 to 22:00, Sweden banned all television advertising directed to children under 12 years, and Denmark, Finland and Norway do not allow that sponsorship programs for children. Canadian Broadcasting Code, which severely restricts children’s advertising, the advertising ban means that the product will make a child happier or more popular.
Summary – Advertising corrupts children….
2) It also becomes annoying when people advertise online. How do you feel when you get like dozens of advertisement mails in your in-box. I get tired just by deleting them all.
Summary – Advertising is annoying….
3) Differences between Rich & Poor. It divides the society into two- Rich and Poor. Poor can’t spend much money to advertise and therefore their products are called “Cheap“.
(This point applies only for TV advertising)
Summary – Division of society into Rich and Poor….
4) Wastage of Natural resources. So much paper is required for poster advertising.
Summary – Wastage of Natural resources.
5) TV advertisements may be dangerous for Kids. (if the ad contains dangerous stunts)
6) Some advertisements show lies about their products and thus trick their customers.
So you can see the negative effects of Advertising and therefore it should be banned.

Advertising companies pay psychologists for their advice. That is definately an organised effort at manipulation. Is that fair? No! Should it be illegal? If they say brainwashing is illegal, then the use (or abuse) of psychology to manipulate people into buying things they don’t need, could well do withoug and maybe can’t afford – should be banned. There are Psychological Societies who govern and regulate what psychologists do. I think that advertising psychologists should be “struck off” for the abuse of their knowledge. Just my personal opinion.

While I believe advertising to children is bad as they have not fully developed minds to handle it. Advertising is a necessary evil though. We in the USA complain how high our cable tv bills are but think of how much higher they would be if advertising did not fund it. Same with magazines, newspapers, the internet….Many of those would go out of business without the revenue they collect from advertising. I do hate spam email though. That needs to go!

Yes, Ms.Courtney.
To some extend you are right!
If we take out the advantages of Advertising then they are many.
But we sure can’t ignore the disadvantages…
